Love the blues with the rust. I do, however, question your use of yellow as the border color. It just doesn't "go" with it IMHO. This would have been a great entry for Abstract as well.

A nice little abstract pattern which would have fitted the 'abstract' challenge quite well. I think this is eminently suited to this challenge as well. You can see the different stages of decay as the rust bites deeper and deeper. Very good.

This looks like a picture of rust... It seems to be lacking a piece of interest that sets it off, and would also benefit from more contrast between the shot's elements.
